Pakistan Targets Indian Military Bases, Saudi Minister Due In Islamabad As US Urges De-escalation

India said it thwarted Pakistani missile and drone strikes on May 8 targeting Jammu, Udhampur, and Pathankot, using “kinetic and non-kinetic” measures. No casualties were reported, though blackouts hit Jammu, Punjab, and Rajasthan. India intercepted eight missiles and struck Pakistani air defence systems, including one in Lahore. Amid accusations and counterstrikes, New Delhi blamed Islamabad for a prior terror attack. The US, led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and President Trump, urged de-escalation, with Saudi Arabia joining diplomatic efforts to ease tensions. :00 - INTRODUCTION02:54 - US URGES DE-ESCALATIONn18oc_world n18oc_crux
